Arena Performer

Features

Ideal for operation of horizontal LED display systems

Arena Performer provides video delivery for horizontal LED display systems. Combined with an easy-to-use content management system, Arena Performer provides a seamless video delivery environment that is difficult to achieve with other software. In recent years, horizontal LED displays have been used in many stadiums. In other countries, they are called perimeters because the LEDs are arranged to surround the field. Arena Performer is the pioneer in this field, and was created as a dedicated video transmitting software.

Flexible video configuration for area-specific video transmission

Arena Performer has realized a flexible video output system that allows independent control of video for each area. In recent years, more and more stadiums have been equipped with a large number of simultaneous LED displays. Arena Performer does not require any complicated settings. Arena Performer requires no complicated settings and allows you to easily configure video output settings while viewing the video on the screen. Video settings are saved in a project file for future use. This is the ideal environment for season-long operations.

Instantaneous transmission from a vast selection of video contents

Arena Performer is equipped with a revolutionary content management system that enables instantaneous delivery of a vast amount of video content. The system makes it possible to send out video content according to the scene of an attractive sporting event that takes place in a large-scale stadium. The project manages content in units called scenes that represent scenes of sporting events. By switching scenes according to the scene, even a huge amount of content can be easily sent out one after another. Because any number of scenes can be added to a project, a single platform can be used for a wide range of events, from small-scale events to large-scale competitions at the world championship level.

Building a new advertising revenue model

Arena Performer's highly visible playlists are ideal for sending out ads at ever-changing sporting events. Simply select the content in your project and add it to the playlist to easily send out advertisements at any time. There is no limit to the number of playlists that can be handled within a project, so you can prepare many playlists in advance according to the scenarios expected at sporting events. Advertising expressions can be created for each sporting event, such as the first and second halves of a soccer game, or the front and back halves of a baseball game. This will contribute to the construction of a new advertising revenue model for sporting events.

The entire stadium is staged in an instant

Impressive scenes at sporting events bring the entire stadium together in an instant. Arena Performer can send out video clips that are interspersed with advertisements that are being shown during the game. The operation is very simple. All you have to do is press the Send button at the timing you want. The smooth switching transmission function ensures seamless transmission, even when the next content is interrupted during the interrupted transmission. This function provides a natural video transmission expression without any sense of incongruity.

Switching control target by shortcut key

Arena Performer supports shortcut key switching for scene and playlist switching, one of the most frequently occurring tasks in production video delivery. The control system allows easy switching between scenes using CTRL+number keys, and switching between playlists using ALT+number keys. By providing an agile operating environment, it reduces the psychological load on the busy video transmission site.

Status display function for easy identification of content being playout

When you have more than a few thousand contents to send out, it can be difficult to see at a glance what is being sent out, but Arena Performer shows you what is currently being sent out on each screen, making it easy to see what is currently being sent out. This makes it possible to check the status of the content without being in a hurry, even on sites where various tasks must be performed in parallel. The name of the content being sent out is displayed on the screen, and a yellow frame on the content side identifies the content currently being sent out, greatly reducing the time and effort required for confirmation.

Content status check at a glance

When using horizontal LED displays for video delivery, a single project can handle an enormous amount of video content. Arena Performer includes an inspector function to verify the status of the video files used in a project as a means of verifying the integrity of the project. Arena Performer now includes an inspector function to verify the status of the video files used in a project as a means of verifying the integrity of the project. The easy-to-read display format for each content management unit makes it easy to check the status of even thousands of contents in a short period of time. The verification results can also be exported in Microsoft Excel xlsx format for use as report information in video delivery operations.

Quick selector for instant content selection

Arena Performer's quick selector provides the best way to reach the desired content in an instant from a large pool of content. An easy-to-read list view that appears instantly with a mouse click provides an intuitive way to get to the content. In an integrated environment with a large number of contents, the quick selector's intuitive operation system provides powerful support for professional video delivery sites with strict time constraints.

Operation settings according to usage scenarios

Arena Performer is designed to allow detailed settings for each item, so that a small difference can make a big difference in situations where a large amount of content is used. You can change the behavior to suit your preference according to the usage scenario.

Convenient system clock display function

Since sports and live events are basically timed, Arena Performer provides a system clock that can be freely taken out and displayed. It can be conveniently used to check the time match between the master clock installed in the stadium and the video transmission system, as well as during the video transmission production operation. The clock design can be selected from among four types. The clock can also be displayed in full screen mode, so it can be turned into an in-room clock if a dedicated small display is provided.

Built-in documentation

Arena Performer's Quick Start Guide and User Manual can be viewed from the Arena Performer operation screen. The documentation is in an easy-to-read HTML format. The document is in an easy-to-read HTML format, making it a practical document solution that can be easily viewed using an easy-to-operate browser. The document design uses a dark theme that is easy on the eyes, even in dark video transmission environments, making it safe to use in production environments.

Multi-screen output

Arena Performer is equipped with a multi-screen output function to prepare for the video output of large stadiums to come. The video output system enables independent video output control for multiple LED controllers. This enables a system that can send out a variety of images, which was difficult to do in the past.

Mini-calculator

If you have trouble with calculations in the video setup, double-click in the numerical input field. A small calculator will pop out and allow you to calculate the value. When the calculation is complete, simply press the OK button and the value entry is completed instantly. Arena Performer strives to reduce frustration in the field of video delivery.

Supports project sharing via cloud services

Arena Performer is equipped with a variety of functions to ensure that project video contents do not become unlinked.

The reliable Arena Performer also gives maximum consideration to the operability of the entire system.

Intuitive operation using touch panel

Arena Performer is also designed with a touch panel-based video delivery environment in mind. This is one of the ways in which Arena Performer provides a double-click operation method that greatly reduces the workload on video delivery sites that must deliver a large number of images in a single event.

Redundancy ensured by simultaneous operation of two systems, a main system and a subsystem

Arena Performer is designed with the operational safety required of a main line video output system in mind, enabling redundancy through simultaneous operation of two systems, a main line and a secondary system. This enables the construction of a symmetrical system in which a project created on the main system can be used on the subsystem as-is, providing the ease-of-use of a general-purpose platform such as the Windows operating system, while at the same time taking safety into consideration, a feature that is unique to Arena Performer. Arena Performer is a unique solution.

Tools to enhance your video delivery site

Arena Performer's tool screen offers a variety of tools that provide functions for various operational scenarios. The perimeter pattern generation function generates LED module pattern images that are useful for checking the operation of horizontal LED displays consisting of many modules. The perimeter string generation function can easily generate images with strings of text, which is necessary when sending out images of information that you want to make known to the audience. The brightness of multiple LED controllers can be controlled simultaneously/individually via the network.
